Having worked on the magnum opus Baahubali for well over five years, director SS Rajamouli churned out two blockbusters Baahubali: the Beginning and Baahubali: the Conclusion. With both these films turning out to be mega grosser, the director is now all set to move over to his next.

Quite a few days ago it was announced that Ram Charan Teja and Jr NTR would be playing the lead role in this multi-starrer and groundwork for it has begun already.

The film will be penned by SS Rajamouli’s dad and noted writer K V Vijayendra Prasad who was instrumental in conceiving Baahubali and the characters in it. While the pre-production has begun already and the two lead stars have been picked up, we hear that the director is scouting for another hero to play the villain.

Apparently, this is a meaty and high-performance oriented role and SS Rajamouli wants to rope in a well-known hero for it. The selection process is through and we can expect the director to make an announcement soon.

SS Rajamouli, an acclaimed filmmaker, made his debut with the 2001 release Student No.1 and is one of the highly successful directors in the Indian film industry. Apart from Baahubali, which is one of the biggest hits in his career, he has films like Simhadri, Vikramarkudu, Yamadonga,  high fantasy works such as Magadheera, Eega and Maryada Ramanna to his credit.

It may be mentioned here that Baahubali turned out to be so popular that it was released in various international languages such as German, Italian, French, Chinese, Japanese etc.

With the news that the ace director has roped in Jr NTR and Ram Charan for his next and there would be more additions to the star cast, fans just can’t want to know more about it.
